What is Siam Technology College, and why this Summer University?
Siam Technology College is internationally best known for the solar vehicles developed by its students. Since 2015,
the solar car teams compete at the World Solar Challenge (WSC) with teams from University of Michigan, MIT, Ad-
elaide University, Cambridge University, Stanford University and others.
At such as technology college, innovation and entrepreneurship are natural elements of education. For our stu-
dents, we offer an incubator as well. All this is, however, until now limited to our Thai program, i.e. degree programs
conducted in the Thai language. We are now preparing an extension of our international program in the area of
entrepreneurship, and we thought it a good idea to start this endeavour with a Summer University in which we can
show what Asia has to offer in this area.
As Thailand has been progressing towards becoming an industrialized country, it has continuously faced hardships
due to a shortage of qualified personnel possessing both knowledge and appropriate skills. Realizing that Thailand
was in dire need of people with industrial skills, Dr. Narong Mongkhonvanit took on the responsibility of resolving
this shortage. In 1965, he established Thailand’s first private vocational institution that could provide students with
job-oriented training. He named the new school “Siam Institute of Technology.” Over the course of the past several
decades, the institution expanded its vision, added a Commercial Department to its curriculum and changed its
name to Siam Technical College (SiamTech).
The year 2005 marked the 40th anniversary of the institution, and the time arrived to take yet another new step.
Aiming at advancing into a new level of educational development, Siam Technical College (SiamTech) decided to
establish a new institution simply called “Siam Technology College (SiamTechno).” Siam Technology College has
opened its doors in 2006. The 800+ square meter campus is adjacent to (but distinctly separate from) Siam Tech-
nical College (SiamTech). Siam Technology College now features a growing list of degree programs for students
interested in pursuing business and technology-related degrees. Enshrined in the college’s curriculum are the fun-
damental principles of equality and continuity, focusing on educating students from all educational backgrounds
throughout Thailand and ASEAN.

(18 hours)
“To run an efficient team, you only need three people: a Hipster, a Hacker, and a Hustler.” [Rei Inamoto, Chief
Creative Officer for AKQA]
Let's explore this credo in practice!
The Hipster: Usually working their way into the mix as the designer or creative genius, they’ll make sure the
final product is cooler than anything else out there. But, not only that, they’ll ensure the shade of blue used to
12accent the font really brings out the subtle homage to an artist from the ’70′s you’ve probably never heard of.
The Hacker: The one most likely to sit quietly through a board meeting until uttering the three sentences that
answers the all important question of “how?” the new idea or initiative can be brought into reality. Resembling
MacGyver with their ability to wield various lines of code or programing languages, you’ll get dizzy trying to
keep up with their keystrokes.
The Hustler: They have the tendency to be the most misunderstood member of this trio. The Hipster is likely
to accuse the Hustler of having sold out to the man because of their constant question of “It’s cool, but is it
something our partners and clients want?” The Hacker is likely to do their best to avoid one on one conversa-
tions with the Hustler as a result of jock vs. geek episode back in high school.
